try auto custom carpets. We used to use theirs when I had an interior shop.

 

ok, I'm going to look into that today! thanks

 

That's unusual. From what I've been told, every single thing has to be cut out on their carpet, because it comes with a LOT of extra bleed. In the printing business, we'd call what has to be trimmed off "bleed," I don't know what they call it in the carpet industry. I'm not familiar with these brackets though, so perhaps who you talked to is the expert.

 

I'm talking about the support below each back seat, where each of them screws on the bottom.

The person from Stock Interiors asked me to wait for a day so he would check with his people and came back saying this area is molded in and a bump will show unless I can flatten it with heat and adhesive...

 

are u talking about the screw hole below the BUCKET SEATS them selves or the pieces where the flip down backing bolts?

 

Oh, you're going to have that problem with every supplier then, unless you don't use molded carpet. I would suggest you just live with the bump, or try to flatten it out. Upholstering a car isn't the easiest thing, especially since our cars have tons of ridges in the floor boards compared to cars from the 40's and 50's. I had a conversation with ACC's customer service I'm going to PM to you.

 

I'm looking at ACC's prices compared to stockinteriors, and they are a lot more expensive. $344.25 for passenger area + cargo area with mass backing compared to $274.45 for the same thing from stockinteriors.

The ultra-plush is $113.69 extra from stockinteriors... but I'm thinking when the time comes... that's what I'm going to be willing to pay extra for.
From ACC, it's $172.12 extra, and they call it Essex instead of Ultra Plush, but it's the same 40% extra fiber than cut-pile, so they are the same thing.

With that in mind, ACC's site is quoting me at $516.37 for what I want (with shipping of $26.01 UPS), so $542.38.

StockInteriors is quoting me $388.14 + $44.95 shipping = $433.09.

I ordered some color samples from ACC that stockinteriors doesn't offer, so I suppose I could still one day go with ACC, but right now I doubt it.

First... I need to get the Camaro I want to put it in. If only I hadn't lost my job in January.

 

Brangeta: I received the chat in your PM; thanks a lot!

the funny thing is that now that the carpet's out, I just started to cut the seat brackets; I got out out, but not the second one, so maybe I should weld it back in place and leave the second one alone...

the problem is that the stock carpet is cut there, so I assumed an aftermarket would need to be cut and no bracket = no cut, I never though they'd mold that part... I kinda feel stupid now

 

go thru summit. i ordered mine for 299$ it had nothing at all cut out NOTHING AT ALL CUT OUT

 

how is the area for the back seats, where they are attached at the bottom?

 

since your not gonna cut them out i suggest gluing them. thats the one place i was not pleased with. it didnt fit well at all there really. but then again i never used a heat gun or let it warm in the sun. and i didnt use an ounce of glue either

 

I have stockinterriors carpet in my camaro. Its been in for a year and a half now. Mine came with no holes in it and I didn't have to trim 8-10 inches off the edges. It is molded for the seat supports but its suck a tiny bend that after sitting in the hot sun for 3 hours the sear bracketed molded part was flat again. If you order through them order it with out the hard rubber protector thing under the gas and break. Its a pin in the *** to keep flat and was about 2" to low to be effective for me.

Heres a 2 pics of mine.

Best carpet on the market. Highest thread/fiber count you can get in auto carpet. So thick you can stand a quarter up in it. I have it in my car and get compliments all the time. Other members on here have it and have said the same.

It really is worth the extra you pay. (Just like house carpet)
